The Speakers
FEATURED SCIENTISTS
Dr. Xiujun Yu
Asst. Professor
Shenzhen University, CHINA
TITLE : Surface-Attached Metal-Organic Frameworks
As well-oriented, surface-attached metal-organic frameworks (SURMOFs) become the centerpiece of many new applications including chemical sensors and (opto-) electronic devices, controllable growth of various functional SURMOFs and a profound understanding of their growth mode become necessary. In this context, we have achieved the highly oriented growth of several different types of SURMOFs. The strategy, the growth mode and the function of such SURMOFs will be introduced.
Dr. Rohan D. Erande
Asst. Professor
IIT Jodhpur, INDIA
TITLE : Green Approach: Development and Applications of Cascade Reactions for the Synthesis of Biologically Active Natural Products
Dr. Rohan's research group mainly focused on method development particularly organometallic catalysis and Lewis acid catalyzed cascade reactions and multicomponent reactions to resolve the complexity of targeted natural product to achieve the total synthesis in short and efficient way. An aiming to target the medicinally important natural product, his group is exploring the field of medicinal chemistry align with green chemistry to achieve the synthesis in ecofriendly pathway.
Dr. Vadde Ramu
Post Doc Fellow
Dublin City University
IRELAND
TITLE : Photoactivated chemotherapy of Ru-MTI complex in various cancer cells under normoxic and hypoxic conditions
Dr. Ramu is a Marie-Curie Sparkle IPIC postdoctoral researcher working at Dublin City University. He is a photo biological scientist working on synthesis of photoactive compounds to fight cancer. I study the photo cytotoxicity of metal complexes in 2D monolayer and 3D tumor spheroids of various cancer cell types. His current interest lies in the synthesis of Ruthenium/Iridium Complexes for Sensing Intracellular O2/pH using Resonance Raman Imaging

Dr. Hema Kuntrapakam
Post Doc Fellow
Weizmann Institute of Science, ISRAEL
TITLE : Structural Transformations in Molecular Crystals and Host-Guest Supramolecular Assemblies
Dr. Hema's research interest lies broadly in the areas of supramolecular chemistry and polymer chemistry. During PhD, she dealt with the design and execution of topochemical azide-alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) polymerization in various biomolecules (carbohydrates and peptides). Topochemical reactions are the solid-state reactions that are strictly controlled by the molecular alignment/packing in the crystal lattice. Thus, topochemical reactions mimic enzyme-mediated reactions that happen in confined environment and often results in regio-/stereospecific products. Her postdoc work is mainly focused in the host-guest chemistry, particularly metal-organic cages as hosts.

Dr. Jayeeta Saha
Post Doc Fellow
IIT Bombay, INDIA
TITLE: Overall water splitting in the presence of an electromagnetic environment for enhanced efficiency
Dr. Jayeeta has done her doctoral thesis from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) in Nanostructured materials. Her doctoral work deals extensively with operando-based investigations into the mechanistic routes for water dissociation and association at heterogeneous electrocatalytic interfaces. One of her investigation about magneto-electrocatalytic water splitting was nationally and internationally recognized by both publication and media houses. She was selected as a Young Scientist in interdisciplinary section for 70th Lindau Nobel laureate meeting 2020-21, Germany. Currently, she has joined IITB as an institute post-doctoral fellow.

Dr. Veerapandian
Research Assistant Professor
POSTECH, SOUTH KOREA
TITLE : Stretchable Electronics
Robotics are highly efficient, accurate and can operate for long periods of time without fatigue. However, one of its main frontiers is the development of human-centric robots. In these situations, safety is the top priority when designing robot performance. One of the key technical issues in the safe operation of robotics is the sensing of various objects, including humans, for safety purposes. Additionally, the sensing device must be soft and deformable to interface with robotics. Recently, we have found that a soft inductive sensor using liquid metal (LM)/PEVA composite ink is suitable for distinguishing between human and other environment (metals). This sensor is suitable for human-machine interface application.
Dr. Babasaheb Matsagar
Dr. Pradip Pachfule
Post Doc Fellow
National Taiwan University,
TAIWAN
Assistant Professor
S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences
INDIA
TITLE: Biomass conversion into value added chemicals
TITLE: Functionalized covalent organic frameworks for photocatalytic water splitting
Dr. Matsagar received his Ph.D. from CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), India, in 2016. Most of his research work was focused on developing sustainable biomass conversion methods for chemical production and energy applications using acidic ionic liquids and heterogeneous catalysts. Presently he is working as a postdoctoral researcher in the department of chemical engineering, National Taiwan University (NTU), Taiwan.

Dr. Pawan Kumar’s research is mainly focused on the development of 2D band gap tuned semiconductors for the photo/electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, water splitting and biomass photoreforming. He is also developing single atom catalysts (SACs) which encompasses the advantages of both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts with improved performance and easy recyclability. SACs due to the availability of each metal center for the reaction and unique geometrical configuration can afford an exceptional catalytic activity and selectivity (>95%).
